~Tuesday~ There are so many things wrong with my car right now, it’s both annoying and discouraging: From left to right, top to bottom: My brake light has been for probably a year now. I’ve had the brakes checked twice, and both times they’ve said there’s nothing wrong with them. The brakes aren’t worn and … Read more
~Friday~ As I walked down the short paved entrance into my townhouse area, I looked long and hard at this retaining wall to see if it had: 1) naturally eroded, 2) been vandalized, or 3) been hit by a vehicle. But in the end, I couldn’t draw any definite conclusion. Can you? I was at … Read more
~Monday~ I left my house with my laptop bag so stuffed I couldn’t zip it up. It was mostly filled with food. I caught the Wolfline #9 GV Tripper to DH Hill. At the Gorman and Conifer stop, several people ran to the bus, including Logorrhea, who’s loud enough on the city bus, but on … Read more
~Tuesday~ I dropped off my car bright and early at Thompson-Cadillac-Pontiac-GMC Collision Repair, where after checking it in they had someone from Enterprise come get me to obtain the rental car I’ll be using while they’re doing the repair work. Katie, Enterprise Assistant Manager, picked me up in a Chevy Cobalt, and drove me the … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ A couple of weeks ago, I thought I was buying a bag of 3 Musketeers mini-bars, but they turned out to be Baby Ruths, of which I’m not all that fond. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t even turn the bag over. I grabbed the bag, which was face-down, just assuming they were … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up shortly after eight, and at the NC State’s Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast by 10:00. We each had their most delicious French Toast. I had an egg over easy on the side with mine, and Robert had a side of bacon with his. Back at home, I was in and out, … Read more
I arrived, for the last time, to my IBM office at about 10:00. By 11:30, I had finished my last edit. At about noon, I had my last lunch in the Tivoli cafeteria. Ironically enough, I was delighted to see that they’d brought the “Personal Size Pizza” station back, but the pizza I got from … Read more
I needed to have my tires rotated today, and Kevin (av8rdude) had a slow leak in one tire and was going to take his car to Fred Anderson Toyota. I talked him into coming with me to Just Tires instead. We got there at a little after 12:30, where I was delighted to find a little … Read more
I had my tires rotated at Just Tires, and it was done before I even realized that they’d taken my car into the bay. I was deeply engrossed in the redesign of my home page, which I’m doing in Dreamweaver. After that, I stopped by Target, where I bought: household cleaning products (Tilex and OxyClean), … Read more
